Saw-Mills- Opposition to Mr. Bryan. Savannah Nows. The belief among loading Democrats in New York city that the silver ques tion will settle itself within a very few years is becoming so S.lfong, that It is probable that by ttaa time delegatee are to be pboseu to the Democratic national convention the opposition in that city among Democrats to Mr. Bryan as a candidate for the nomina tion for President will have to a great extent disappeared. It may be that it will have disappeared to such an ex tent that the movement pow being inaugurated to Bend a contesting del egation to the convention if an anti- Bryan delegation is chosen may come to nothing. While it is true that there has not been any such rise in the price of silver as to cause widespread com ment, yet the increase in the output of gold has been so great that it is regarded as certain that inside of ten years, if the increase in the gold out put continues, sliver will be on an equality with gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. It is stated that the Treasury re ports, on June 30, the end of the present fiscal year, will show $990,- 000,000 in gold in this country, and it is confidently believed that the amount will be more than a billion of dollars by Sept. 1. It is expected that be tween $26,000,000 and $30,000,000 will be received from the Alaskan gold fields by the middle of August, and the director of the mint says that the gold mines of this country, out side of Alaska, are now yielding $5,- 000,000 a month, with a fair proba bility that the amount will steadily increase for a number of years. We have more gold now than any other nation in the world. We have nearly $200,000,000 more than France, which has more than any other nation of Europe. As much as Europe is amazed at our wonderful Increase in exports her financiers are still more amazed at our wealth in gold and our rapid advance toward the first posi tion in the world of finance. The effect of this steady increase in the world’s production of gold will be to close up the gap between gold and silver at existing ratios, and to bring about a rise in prices of commodities. A great rise in prices followed the discovery of gold in California, and it can hardly be otherwise than that prices will advance as the output of gold increases. The prospect being that the silver question will settle itself in the near future the opposition in New York to Mr. Bryan will decrease. Democrats who were opposed to the regular Democratic ticket in 1800 will be found in the ranks of the regular De mocracy. It is said that the proba bility of two delegations from New York to the Democratic national con vention is very much leas now than it was a month or so ago. Owing to the abundance of gold, and the probabil ity that the abundance will continue, the fear of the 16 to 1 idea isn’t so acute as it was. Ex-Senator Gorman said in an interview a few days ago Elevate the Negro. Little Rock, Ark., June 15.— Rev. W. T. Pope, an educated colored divine of McNeil, Ark., is taking the initiative in the organization of a league whose object is to elevate his race and help solve the lynching problem. The name of the organiza tion is the Co-Operative League of American Citizens, and its aim is to bring together the citizens of each community for the purpose of creat ing a higher regard for law and .order nnd respect for the good name of the State by the mutual co-operation of the members of each race, in the sev eral communities. It is the aim of the colored mem bers to "prove our fealty to the State and respect for law and order and our detestation of crime by giving it no lodging place among us; to prevent as far as possible the commission of crime by exercising a vigilant over sight of its members, and whon crime has been committed to bend every effort to the exposure and punish ment of it; to throw around the youth of the race Buch safeguards as the mutual co-operation of the best citizens of both races in each commu nity will guarantee, thereby obviating the evil existing or likely to exist as a consequence of the contact of the sexes in pursuing their daily voca tions; to encourage the youth in their efforts to live higher and better lives by placing a premium upon virtue and rigidly condemning vice in all its forms wherever found." White people are invited to become honorary members of the organiza tion. A.small membership fee is to be charged, one-half of which shall be used for the purpose of extending the league and the other half for the ap prehension of criminals. Rev. Pope pays! "If the strained relations existing between the members of the white and colored races are ever amicably adjusted, it can only be accomplished by the Northern white and colored men. The fear of negro domination and social equality need not deter any one for a moment in giving the league their fullest support, for the negro is not seeking the former, nor does he in the remotest sense desire the lat ter. The negro race, as a whole, is unalterably opposed to the commis sion of nameless crimes. That there are members of the race who willfully violate the laws of the State and add to the list, which is already too large, of crimes too horrible to name, we with reluctance admit. "It is not our desire to shield any such, but to mete out to them the ex treme penalty of the law. If the world would know the feelings and sentiments of the race against such culprits, let it empanel a jury com posed of colored men and read its findings.’’ R.

DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve cures piles, and they stay cured. G. R, Bradley. Build up the Country. Current Review. There is much unnecessary talk about building up cities and towns. As a rule, such communities will take care of themselves. They will go forward or backward, or stand still, under their natural laws of growth or decay, and when it is pos sible for human effort to advance their interests it is always safe to rely upon the active work of those who expect to be personally benefited by the progress of the municipalities where they reside. We need more talk about the up building and the development of the country districts—the rural communi ties. The present steady movement of the farmer* and their children to the town is one of the worst signs of the times. It will ruin the country. The best way to build up a town and make it prosperous is to develop tbe farm ing district uround it. The Government encourages man ufacturing, but it does very little for agriculture, beyond giving the far mers advice and garden seed. Mil lions of dollars are expended in giv ing cities and towns satisfactory mail facilities, but the farmers are not much better off in this respect than their grandfathers were a century ago. As a soothing and strengthening nervine, nerve food, or invigorator, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is unequaled and is invaluable in allay ing and subduing nervous excitability, irritability, nervous exhaustion, ner vous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, Chorea, or St. Vitus’s Dance, and other distressing, nervons symp toms commonly attendant upon func tional and organic disease of the womb. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and de spondency. Even insanity, when de pendent upon womb disease, as is of ten tbe case, is cured by it. Hero Davis a Daredevil. New York World. Lieut. Olellan Davis, who was rec ommended by Admiral Dewey for promotion for bravery in the Philip pine Islands, haB from the time he was a small boy been known as a daredevil. In Louisville, Ky., where young Davis was raised, the daring feats he accomplished are still talked of. Davis is the son of Maj. W. J. Da vis, superintendent of the public schools in Louisville. As a boy Clel- lan DaviB cared little for school. Ho was hardly more than 12 years old when he developed a love for athlet ics. So expert did he become that n place was offered him in Barnum’s circus, where he was expected to be come an acrobat. Ho would have run away from home had his father not learned of his intentions. Young Davis was not more than 14 when he accomplished a feat which has never been equalled in Louisville. The Louisville Boat Club, an exclusive organization, composed of men twice Davis’ age, prided itself on Its expert swimmers. On one occasion when two members of the club swam from Jeffersonville, Ind., acrosB the Ohio river to Louisville, a distance of two and one-half miles down stream, the men were called the champion swim mers of the South. Young Davis had never been heard of as a swimmer, but he Boon was to be. Without so much as a boat to save him should he become exhausted, young Davis dived off the Louisville Boat Club float. Against a strong current he started swimming up stream toward Jeffersonville. He was in the water nearly a whole day, but when he got back to the boat club he had swim up the stream two and one- half miles And back the kaiue dis tance. When the suggestion was made to Davis that he go to Annapolis he be gan studying as ft# never had studied before. In a competitive examination he won the appointment against more than thirty aspirants. Davis was not long in taking the head of his class at Annapolis. He was as great a student as he was an athlete. No man in the school could equal him in all-around athletic con tests, and in his third year he was elected esptain of athletics. In selecting Davis to handle the big gun along tbe shores of the Philip pines Admiral Dewey selected a man who doesn’t know what fear is. Good- natured and happy-go-lucky, he no doubt went in among the Filipinos with the same daredevil spirit that prompted him when a boy to take the iong swim in the Ohio river. Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine has a national reputation, extending over about sixty years, as a most suc cessful Liver Regulator. Toombs in Boston. Dalton Citizen. Bob Toombs, when on a visit to Boston just after the war, was asked by a gentleman of that city if it was true that we "plowed negroes in the south?’’ Toombs asked his questioner In return what was the value of a ne gro. "One thousand dollars,’’ replied the Bostonian. "How many negroes would it take to pull a plow?’’ asked Toombs. "About four,’’ was the answer. "Then,” exclaimed Mr. Toombs, "do you think we are fools enough to employ $4,000 worth of negroes to pull a plow when a $200 mule would do?" Does Bostonian intelligence grasp the idea that it would be foolish for Southern farmers and people general ly to lynoh the best common labor It possesses? Would we deliberately exile our diningroom, nursery, and kitchen help to import Impudent white help from tbe scum of creation? It was but this week the Citizen edi tor saw a negro brick mason and a negro carpenter at work on a resi dence now being built by Captain T. M. Felker on Thornton avenue. These negroes have the friendship and confidence of every citizen of this community and any effort to pre vent their pursuing their avocations peacefully would meet with armed force, but should a negro attempt any Sam Holt capers in this town he would be lynched Incontinently. The memories Bunker Hill nor Get tysburg would help him any, nor the strictures of the partisan eastern press. Shake Into Your Shoes Allen’s Foot-Ease, a powder for the feet.

In an interview the other day he said: "It is almost heresy to say it, bnt I do not mind taking the responsibility. I refer to the increase of higher edu cation for the masses. "The Anglo-Saxon has easily out stripped all his competitors in those things which make for the commer cial growth and success of nations, because he has been above all things practical. While preparation for pro fessional life requires advanced knowledge, it seems to me that the vast majority of our young people- spend too many of their vigorous years of youth inside school roomy and not enough in the practical work of life. "The years from 15 to 21 are im mensely valuable, for they are yeare of koen observation, individuality and confldence. In many cases, quite too many, they are spent in cram ming the mind with knowledge that 5/ ' 4 1b not likely to help a young man .lip*' the work he is bqsi.-ttlita«ijj^grV’.'’' 1 v'.

Sons of farmers are forstlitiiBiirfHktodf^ Helds because the cities are more at tractive to them. Slowly, but surely, there is growing up a stronger wall ot caste, with good, honest labor on one side and frivolous gentility on thq other.” Militate (liven Away, It id Oetftttlflly gratifying to the pub- i lie to know of one concern In the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering.
